Question
Wings of birds and wings of flies perform similar functions so they are examples of
- Homologous organ
- Analogous organ
- Evolutionary organ
- Paralogous organ
The correct answer is: Analogous organ
Organs which perform similar functions but having different origin and structure are called analogous organs. Wings of birds and wings of insects are analogous organs. Such organs are not antomically similar through they perform similar functions. Hence, analogous structures are result of convergent evolution. Other examples of analogy are the eye of the 
and mammals, the flippers of penguins and dolphins, sweet potato and potato, etc.
